"On arrival, crews sent a message to say the house was well alight ... and they got to work," Superintendent Cooper said.

Firefighters and three trucks from South Tamworth and Tamworth FRNSW brigades spent an hour battling the blaze, and had dowsed the flames by about 10:30pm.

Superintendent Cooper said the incident was handed over to police for investigation once the fire had been put out.
